Delicious Mediterranean Style Roasted Leg Of Lamb recipe

Mediterranean Style Roasted Leg Of Lamb

This is one of the best dishes I make after Eid al- Adha holiday. Everyone in my family just waits for the roasted leg of lamb. In my religion “Islam” during Eid al-Adha, families that can afford it sacrifice an animal such as a sheep, goat, camel, or cow, and then divide the meat among themselves, the poor, friends and neighbors. Here in the US, we do the sheep every year and gather with friends and family to celebrate. If you are curious to read more about this specific holiday click here.

This delicious Mediterranean style roasted leg of lamb recipe lasts for few days in the fridge as it is usually more than four pounds of meat. I usually use the leftovers on salads, in fritatas and add it to soups. And be sure to save the bones for your bone broth recipe.

The Ingredients ans spices in this recipe makes it very flavorful. I usually marinate it one day before and leave it in the fridge and then cook it the next day. If time is an issue it cooks beautifully without marinating it.
